-"The Jet" Benjamin Trust & Keith Smith Jr. d. No Role Modelz(A.T.M. & "The Munch" Marcus Muncherson); Trust pinned A.T.M. after he and Smith hit a powerbomb/top-rope cross-bodyblock combo (9:35).

-"The Master Of Hairflips" Brandon Aarons d. Paul London after the Hairflip Suplex(half-nelson suplex) and close-range superkick (19:53).
-NOTES:  "The Mile-High Magnum" Dak Draper was injured and unable to compete, making the night's main event a one-on-one bout.  Likewise, Jake Lander was on the shelf with an injury so Keith Smith Jr. replaced him as Benjamin Trust's tag partner.  F.T.G. was added to the scheduled singles bout between Mannix and Surge.  Official Ben Simon Concession Count(tm):  One Pepsi.  It was good to touch base with some people who I hadn't seen in a long time; Metro East Championship Wrestling was a fun promotion to watch when it was active and E.A., Mannix, and Logan were big parts of it.  If I'd gone in cold, I wouldn't have been able to tell that Mannix, Allen, and Shorty hadn't wrestled regularly in several years (Logan has remained active in the Chicago area).  The show was a benefit for Eric Allen's daughter Allison to pay for medical bills; several promotions were represented both in the ring and in the audience and I'm glad that things stayed professional on this night.  Post-show, grabbed some Pizzeria Combos, chocolate Zingers, and Mountain Dew on the way home.
